"A federal judge called the deployment unlawful and said it caused 'greater harm' to the city. Trump now wants a redo, urging mayors and governors to allow troops to 'come in and stop the crime.'"
"'Crime is down 75% in a short period of time,' Trump claimed, suggesting similar results could be achieved in Los Angeles and San Francisco through federal troop deployment."
"'We can do it much more effectively, because [local leaders] can't do what we do,' Trump stated, emphasizing the federal government's unique capabilities in immigration enforcement."
"Trump also mentioned considering the deployment of the National Guard at airports to help with security delays amid a 40-day partial government shutdown."
Trump's administration faced legal challenges regarding the deployment of federal troops for immigration enforcement and crime control. A federal judge deemed the deployment unlawful, citing harm to cities. Despite this, Trump advocates for troop redeployment in blue cities, claiming success in crime reduction in other areas. He argues that federal authorities can manage immigration enforcement more effectively than local officials. Additionally, he considers using the National Guard to address security delays at airports during a government shutdown.
